Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 354: The Port City Trip Ends

After entering the restaurant and seeing the dishes on the table, He Yanxi couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise: "Oh my?! This presentation is too exquisite! I'm embarrassed to pick up my chopsticks." Then she looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked: "Xiao'e, are these dishes really made by your man?! Did you hire a chef from outside to save face for your man?!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "You know where my kitchen is. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"

Luo Xi and the other two looked at each other, and finally Fu Yaqing couldn't stand the looks from Luo Xi and He Yanxi anymore, so she compromised and said, "Okay! I'll go over and take a look!" After that, Fu Yaqing went straight to the Lou family's kitchen.

Walking to the kitchen door, Fu Yaqing saw He Yuzhu flipping the wok and couldn't help but say, "He Yuzhu, I didn't expect that you are so skilled!!"

He Yuzhu glanced at Fu Yaqing and asked, "Why are you here?! It's so fumy here, go back!"

Fu Yaqing pretended not to hear what He Yuzhu said, walked to He Yuzhu's side, took a look at the dishes in the pot, and said: "I didn't expect that you prepared such a rich variety of dishes today?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "This is my first time inviting you to dinner, can't I prepare a little more?! Otherwise you will say I am stingy."

"That's right!" Fu Yaqing echoed, and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go out first!"

He Yuzhu glanced at Fu Yaqing's back, smiled bitterly, put the food in the pot onto a plate, and asked the servant to take the food out.

When Fu Yaqing returned to the living room, He Yanxi couldn't wait to ask, "Is he doing it?!"

Fu Yaqing replied, "It's him!" Then she looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, it looks like you'll have a treat from now on."

"Of course!" Lou Xiao'e replied in a proud manner, "Zhu Zi's ancestors were imperial chefs! How can their cooking skills be bad when they cook for the emperor?! Sit down and eat! The food won't taste right if it gets cold!"

An hour later, when He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen with the soup, the four women had already finished most of the dishes on the table. He Yuzhu put the soup bowl on the table, sat down next to Lou Xiaoe, and asked, "Three of you, are you satisfied with today's dishes?!"

Fu Yaqing suddenly burst into tears and said, "This dish is so delicious. What if I can't eat it anymore?!"

"Yeah!" Luo Qian and He Yanxi also echoed. Lou Xiao'e said, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Just think of it as losing weight!"

Luo Xi sighed and said, "I never thought that our friendship is not worth a meal!"

Lou Xiao'e said: "Didn't Yanxi say it last time? The four of us are just fake sisters!"

He Yanxi quickly denied: "I never said that!"

Fu Yaqing interrupted, "Alright! Stop making trouble. Zhuzi, my father-in-law is turning 80 next month. How about you be the chef?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I'm afraid not. Xiao'e and I will be returning to Sijiu City in a few days. We will hold our wedding banquet in Sijiu City on May 1st."

Luo Xi asked, "You held your wedding banquet in Sijiu City, will you hold it here?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "Yes! But it will be in August."

"What a pity!" Fu Yaqing muttered, then immediately adjusted her attitude, turned her grief and anger into appetite, and continued to eat the food on the table.

After a while, He Yuzhu felt that it was not appropriate to stay in the restaurant, so he simply ate two bites, said hello to Lou Xiaoe and the others, and then left the restaurant.

A little after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Lou Xiao'e knocked on the door and walked into He Yuzhu's room. He Yuzhu saw Lou Xiao'e and asked with a smile: "Your three good friends are gone?!"

"They left! Not only did they leave! They also took away all the snacks you made for me. They are so rude, eating and taking things! It makes me so angry!" After saying that, Lou Xiao'e sat down opposite He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said, "Don't be angry. You didn't eat much. I'll make it for you later."

Lou Xiaoe asked: "What are your plans for tomorrow?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I just looked at the almanac, tomorrow is a good day to get married. How about we go and register for marriage tomorrow morning?!"

Lou Xiao'e stared at He Yuzhu for a while and said, "You haven't even proposed to me yet?! How do I register?!"

He Yuzhu smiled, as if he had been prepared for this, reached into his trouser pocket, took out a jewelry box, opened it, knelt on one knee, and asked, "Will you marry me?!"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at the diamond ring in the jewelry box, looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, and said, "There's a ring but no flowers, there's no sincerity at all!"

He Yuzhu reached under the bed, took out a rose, and said, "Now I have the flower and the ring! Are you willing to marry me?!"

Lou Xiaoe smiled and replied, "Yes!"

He Yuzhu put the ring on Lou Xiaoe's hand and said, "Put on this ring. From now on, you belong to me, He Yuzhu."

Lou Xiao'e pulled He Yuzhu up, poked He Yuzhu's chest with her hand, and said, "If you dare to do anything to let me down in the future, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

The next morning, Lou Xiao'e dressed up carefully and followed He Yuzhu out. With the witness of the brothers Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e completed the marriage registration. After a day of rest at home, the next morning, Lou Xiao'e invited a lawyer to her home and entrusted the lawyer to handle the company registration.

After finishing their work, He Yuzhu accompanied Lou Xiaoe to go shopping again. A few days later, Lou Xiaoe, who had almost had enough fun, left the port city with He Yuzhu and Charlie.

After the plane landed, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe first sent Charlie to the Sijiucheng Hotel. After settling Charlie down, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe went directly to the Lou family's small western-style building.

"Dad! Mom! We're back!" Lou Xiao'e was the first to shout after entering the small western-style building. Tan Lingya came downstairs after hearing Lou Xiao'e's voice and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me you were back?!"

Lou Xiao'e hugged Tan Lingya's arm and said, "Isn't this a surprise for you and Dad?!" Then she asked, "Where's my dad?!"

Tan Lingya said: "Your father can't sit still. He has started to work on his career again."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment and asked, "What earth-shattering thing did my dad do again?!"

Tan Lingya said: "Your father has been looking for land to build a hotel. Whatever he wants, let him do it! As long as he is happy!"

"Xiaoya, what are you saying about me again?!" Just then Lou Zhenhua's voice came from outside. Lou Xiao'e immediately let go of Tan Lingya's hand, ran to the entrance, and shouted, "Dad!"

"Dad!" He Yuzhu also shouted. Lou Zhenhua was slightly stunned when he heard He Yuzhu's shout, and looked at Lou Xiaoe with a puzzled look. Lou Xiaoe said: "Zhuzi and I registered our marriage in Hong Kong. Although we didn't get a marriage certificate in the mainland. But nominally he is already your son-in-law!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Lou Zhenhua immediately showed a bright smile on his face and said, "This is the best news I have heard in a while."

Although Tan Lingya was happy in her heart, she still complained: "Registration is such a big thing, why didn't you call me?!"

Lou Xiao'e said: "We just thought of it at the last minute."

Lou Zhenhua asked: "Zhu Zi, are you used to being in Hong Kong City?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Except for the poor security there, everything else is fine."
